In reply - Induction opioids for caesarean section: A word on fentanyl

We read with interest the letter titled ‘Combating myths and misinformation’ by Norris1 His letter made some valid comments on the way in which statistical significance relates to clinical significance. His perspective on the results presented in our paper on induction opioids2 is that the reduction in Apgar scores caused by fentanyl is unlikely to be of any clinical significance. We believe that the difference in interpretation of the findings regarding fentanyl as an induction opioid for general anaesthesia (GA) for caesarean section (CS) stems from his initial clinical question.
